Takom TAK2152 V-1 FLYING BOMB LAUNCH SITE 1:35 |
|||
The subject of this kit is the V-1 rocket and launch rail site. The V-1 launch site centered around the Walter WR 2.3 Schlitzrohr Schleuder catapult. The prerequisites for the site were modest - a concrete platform for attaching the catapult and supporting the gas generator trolley, and concrete pilings for the catapult support.
The catapult itself was a modular design in six-metre sections usually consisting of eight sections and a muzzle brake at the end for a total length of 49m (160ft). The gas generator trolley was fueled with a volatile mixture of T-stoff(hydrogen peroxide) and Z-stoff (sodium permanganate), which created a pulse of high-pressure gas that pushed a piston down the circular tube at the centre of the catapult.
The completed kit of the V-1 and the site is 96cm long when completed, and again it is designed in collaboration with Snowman Studio, like many of their recent kits. |
